GRACE GOW dot com: Behind the Scenes

Getting the photography right for the GRACE GOW website was critical. Since the earrings are about more than 'a pretty shot of an earring', we really wanted to capture the essence and personality of GRACE GOW. Expressive, independent, fun and sexy.

Brian the photographer, who is also the brilliant web designer behind the GRACE GOW website you see today, did an amazing job setting up and executing the shoots. Together we ran around town renting equipment (flashes, lighting), gathering textured and patterned backdrops, styling wardrobe and finding props.

Over the course of 3 separate shooting days with 2 fantastic models (THANK YOU Heather! and Jamie!) we managed to launch 1 website with photography that, we think, catches the vibe of what GG is all about.

Below are some 'behind the scenes' shots from the making of the images you see now on www.gracegow.com, Facebook, Etsy and elsewhere.



GUS AND JAMIE

Although canine, I swear Gus is also part worm or weasel. He managed to nudge his way into many frames, like say, above. I'm so glad he decided to lick his #$%^% in the shot. (Hey Gus, it's not that kinda website....)




GUS

Gus is thinking: "What????"



HEATHER
Heather is a true professional and she melted the camera with her come hither look. My semi deformed thumb, minus it's thumbnail because I closed my finger in a car door, is featured here. Pretty (gross), huh?




CAT AND JAMIE
Jamie was the most ultimate sport when it came to fielding our requests to act like a wild child in front of the camera. A super hard working young lady, she's going to Hawaii in a few days and so deserves it. Have fun in the sun Jamie!



BRIDAL

GRACE GOW custom bridal jewelry (for brides, maids and moms) is for the off beat bride. We experimented with throwing a loose bouquet of flowers up in the air and catching the chaos as it came down. Didn't totally work out. PS. That thing that looks like a wedding dress on Heather? It's a beautiful old lace curtain, pinned in the back to fit snuggly. Shhhhh.
